This invention relates to vanity cases, and has for an object to provide an improved construction wherein a lipstick holder is formed as substantially an integral part of the van- 5 ity case but readily shiftable to positions out of the way While admitting of use at any time.

Another object of the invention is to provide a vanity case wherein a hinge mirror is 1 provided between the two opposite sections of the case formed with means for holding a lipstick so that the lipstick will be in use when either side of the mirror is used.

A still further object, more specifically, is

15 to provide a vanity case with a body and lid hingedly connected and a mirror mounted on the same hinge so as to swing into either section of the vanity case, the mirror at the outer end being provided with a holder for removably holding a lipstick and lipstick casing so that these members will be in place for use when desired and will be swung out of the way when not desired.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the vanity case disclosing an embodiment of the invention, the same being shown open;

Figure 2 is a plan view on an enlargedscale of the structure shown in Figure 1 with 30 the vanity case open and a mirror hinged to one side;

Figure 3 is a sectional view through the vanity case shown in Figure 1 when the same is closed;

Figure 4 is a top plan View of the lipstick holder and the lipstick casing;

Figure 5 is a sectional view through Figure 4 on the line 5-5, the parts being shown in their assembled position;

Figure 6 is a sectional view through Figure 5 approximately on the line 66;

Figure 7 is a top plan view of the lipstick casing and lipstick mounted therein.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates what may be called the body of the case, and 2 the lid, although these members are of substantially identical construction and either may be called the body. The body 1 is provided with a catch projection 3, while the lid 2 is provided with 1930. Serial No. 463,458.

a swinging catch member 4 adapted to interlock with member 3, as shown in Fig. 3, when the'case is closed. The end wall 5 of body 1 is provided with a notch 6 and the end wall 7 of lid 2 is provided with a similar notch 8., These notches accommodate the end of pin 5 when the vanity case is closed, as shownin Fig. 3. When the vanity case is open, as shown in Fig. 2, part of the pin 9 rests in notch 8 and part projects beyond this notch, so that the same may be readily engaged by the thumb or finger and the parts swung over into body 1. Body 1 and lid 2 are connected by a suitable hinge 3, part of the knuckles of the hinge 3 being preferably integral extensions of mirror 10. This mirror is preferably a metallic mirror and is preferably provided with a reflecting surface on both sides. As shown in Fig. 2, this mirror is of less length than the lid 2, whereby the lipstick holder 11 may be mounted thereon and secured thereto by any desired securing means, as for instance, rivets 12.

' Under some circumstances the parts may be welded together instead of riveted, or may even be held by friction. The holder 11 is merely a looped piece of sheet metal, as shown in Fig. 6, said metal having ears 13 straddling the edge portion of mirror 10. A cupshaped member 14 acts as means for closing one end of the holder 11, the opposite end remaining open so that the lipstick casing 15 may be slid therein or slid therefrom. The holder 11 is provided with a slot 16 for receiving part of the pin 9, as shown in Fig. 1. Pin 9 is rigidly secured to the metal tip 17 which carries the lipstick 18. This pin 9 extends through the slot 19, which slot limits the sliding movement of tip 17 It will thus be seen that the pin 9 acts as means i for moving the lipstick into and out of the casing 5, and also as a handle for swinging the mirror 10 from one position to the other. WVha-t I claim is 1. A vanity case, including a pair of a hingedly connected sections, a mirror hinged ly connected with said sections, and a tubular holder secured to the outer end of said mirror, said holder having a slot, said holder being adapted to receive a lipstick casing provided With a pin, said pin extending through said slot, each of said sections having a notch for accommodating said pin when the casings are closed, said pin acting as a handle to open said section and to swing the lipstick holder and the mirror from one section to another.

2. A vanity case, including a pair of sections having end Walls, each Wall having a notch, a sWingable mirror arranged in said casing, a lipstick holder carried by the outer end of said mirror, and a removable lipstick casing normally carried by said holder, said casing having a pin extending therefrom positioned to fit into said notches When the vanity case is closed and to act as a handle to swing the mirror from one section to the other.

3. In a vanity case, a metallic mirror formed of less length than the remaining part of the vanity case, a holder having depending ears rigidly secured to said mirror at the outer end, said ears substantially straddling said mirror, and means acting as a lipstick casing carried by said holder, said means including a pin extending beyond the holder so as to act as a handle for shifting the holder and mirror from one position to another.
